Rigid Pipe Threading

Sam Maltese shows how to thread a 1/2 rigid pipe using the electric threader. This pipe will be used for electrical installation requiring rigid pipe. The short length of pipe is used as a demonstration for a in class lab.

My boss had the cleanest crew on any job site.

That baby was my responsibility. One day to the next I was pushing atleast 160 pipes. Great times!

Thanks for the video, was wondering how these things worked. One word of caution, be careful with lanyards and rotating equipment, I've seen that end not so well.

Thanks for the informative video. There’s a few things I’d like to toss in here. It’s not uncommon working with black steel pipe that it will come in 10’6” lengths, might make a difference in the back of a van or inside an elevator. Depending on the diameter size of the pipe, you can work with a nipple about 7+ inches long, careful if using a hand stock, just make sure it doesn’t get jammed up on the jaws or it could crack the face of the machine. Some people are shy with the oil, but more oil is less smoke and the machine doesn’t need to work as hard. And if you are a plumber, you could get away with not reaming certain types of pipe; like gas because it has very little pressure and there is no turbulence inside the pipe.

The pipe doesn't have to be so close to the chuck, he really came close to the chuck.

The "reamer" is used before cutting the thread, not after, it's not a de-burring tool

The one I use at work has an oil tray underneath the threading tool... And it's attached to the machine.

Hey buddy. I'm one of your past theory students. I just got my license within the last year. just as the school was getting locked down. You're actually scheduled to be my theory teacher for advance. But you had to take a personal break from work. anyways I just wanted to let you know that this video helped me kick ass today at work. It looked like I was a pro. I didn't tell anybody that I pre-watched your training video on pipe threading. This video was perfect on reminding me how to do it. Thank you for all the little tips. Wishing you all the best thanks for your help . Kevin Lester

My company just bought this for us, we will use it for the threading of course, but mainly for beveling some fittings to fit our sch 80 pipe. Now I can practice my pipe welding. I believe a 4” pipe can fit on the chuck. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Where can I download the table when checking the thread length (at 17:37)?

If not, what is the recommended number of turns of thread for each die size (when checking the thread without using ring gauges)?

I'm interested in size of:

3/4" = number of turns?
1" = number of turns?
1-1/4" = number of turns?
1-1/2" = number of turns?

You may want to remove the lanyard from around your neck. Great video

How do you put threads on the inside of the ridged pipe and is there a way to do it by hand?

[mutenderejulien]

So cool and awesome never have a seen a 300

[CreativeEngineering_]

Can you just grind the end of the pipe if its too long? it will have the required profile and tapper.

[osaelbarrantes]

Really a very handy tool. I wonder if you need to cut a very short pipe, so, you need another tool?? what happens if you are out of code, does the tread becomes weaker? Saludos desde Costa Rica.. Gracias por el video..

هل يوجد فرع صيانه لهذه الماكينه في مصر

[skraman]

Really a useful Video...The tolerances (16.3 - 19.8 mm ) what you have specified as per Table 40 is that applicable for all the sizes? how long will 1" dia will take to thread & what are the consumables say oil. the length 18" what you said is that the min length is it ? for the estimation purpose what should i consider, can you pls guide me.

Always remember do not ever operate a threading machine without tampons in your ears and nostrils

excelente yo tengo una Compacta Modelo 300 y funciona a la perfección es una maquina muy buena

[motodrummer]

threading 1" galvy but when finished it will only go in 1-2 threads than hard stops? does the schedule matter?

[shaallen]

Great toturial last minute confirmation made me 300 bucks
